I’m pretty new to openHAB2. Today I heared of it for the first time.
It looks really interesting and promising, so I decided to give openHAB2 a try.

I’m using openHab on my Laptop currently.

Milight addon is installed .

Inbox is empty. clicking “+” shows “Milight Binding”.

clicking on “Milight Binding” starts a search for things but shortly comes up with “manually add thing”

I added a thing myself using the IP Address I have taken from the web interface and entered the port (8899) as well as the MAC Address of the iBox2.
Under Configuration -> Things I see my iBox2, but the status is “offline - Configuration pending SESSION_WAIT_FOR_BRIDGE”
Any help is very much appreciated.

When you manually adding an ibox bridge you have to specify its MAC address. This means that you have to enter two things: IP and MAC address. That MAC address setting is hidden so that’s why I also could not get it to work.
